Default shifter light

Is the shifter position indicator supposed to be backlit on the center console? 2002 ES300

Ok great. Thanks for the info. I assumed there was. I just have not had time to pull it apart. Is it just one bulb or multiple?

yes. I changed mine to a white LED and it looks way better. Matches the gauges

I want to change the light on the key on the dash close to the steering wheel. I think that I need to disassembly the radio and the bezel on dash to pull the plastic black leather bezel to have access



to the small light.

I was able to change the bulb last night. It was a 2721 I picked up at Autozone. I just used the regular bulb for now. It only took one. I was not able to get the little green condom cover thing off the original bulb. It was melted on to it. So I just used the bulb by itself. Good enough for now. Thanks.
